No matter what mode I put the camera in, when I push the button to take a picture the word "recording" flashes in red and recoreds the scene instead of taking the picture. Any ideas on how to fix?

After I take a picture the screen goes blank while the red light is flashing and I have to wait at least 10 seconds before I can take another picture. I can turn the flash off and be able to take pictures consecutively, how can I fix this or is this the way the camera works?

Flash problems well i got my olympus stylus 710 a year ago and well now i am having problems with the flash itself. when i want the flash on, on the screen appears a blinking red flash sign.. -what does it mean? & -how can i fix it? background facts (i can take pictures when i turn the flash off, but when its on no pictures can be taken) HELLLLPPPP

Hey emeffem,\015\012 What is most likely causing this is that the flash is set to off which would be symbolized by a lightening bolt sign crossed out. Directions on how to turn it back on are on page 13 of your camer ...

Red-Eye Fix Are there any settings that will eliminate the red-eye problem with my Canon A520? My Minolta emits three distinct flashes prior to taking the picture when re-eye reduction is turned on. I don't see this with the Canon A520. We have two A520s and they both produce the same red-eye prone photos.

Flash issues My camera is brand new, I just bought it yesterday and it will only take pictures without flash. When I put the flash on, it will not take any pictures and it has a little red arrow, like the flash arrow, but its red and its flashing. Does this mean that the camera is no good.

It means that the battery is charging the flash! Wait a while and it should stop. Then take your photo.\015\012\015\012Do make sure your battery is fully charged. ...

The flash on my Olympus Stylus 7010 is suddenly not working. When I try to take a picture needing flash, a red "lightning symbol" flashes on the screen and it doesn't take the picture. It takes pictures, however, when the flash is turned off.

When the flash is up and I try to take a picture requiring flash, instead of the picture being taken with the flash firing, the flash icon on the screen just blinks and nothing happens. Occasionally, the flash fires and takes a picture, but the next day the flash suddenly doesn't work again.

AF problem Last week I took some pics that needed the flash turned off. I did that and took the pics with no problem. I turned the flash setting back to "auto" afterwards. (this may not be related to the current problem but does seem too much of a coincidence). Next time I went to use the camera, I got an AF(red dot) and a red hand on the screen. It would take one picture and then would be frozen (no zoom, no picture taking, but the screen would stay on). If I turn it back on I can then ta

After taking some pictures I wanted to delete them. Instead of hitting the MENU button I hit the SET button and a red light came on and was flashing. I pushed on the OFF button to shut the camera off. It would not shut off.So to shut the camera off I opened the battery door and the camera shut off. I went to turn the camera on and will not come on. I changed batteries still will not turn on.

White screen? My camera has suddenly stopped working. When I press the red 'shoot' or green 'review' button, all I get on the display is a white screen. Pressing the shutter button does make it shoot, and the zoom and the flash work. I have just taken the card out and examined the jpg files - it is still taking pictures. So it's the display that is busted. I guess my question is: Is it worth the repair bill to get it fixed?

There is an orange blinking light on the viewfinder and a flashing red arrow on the LCD screen and I cannot take a picture. Any ideas what is wrong

My Canon G9 has suddenly developed a few problems: the flash choise is off or automatic, no "on" for fill-in. Also, the scene setting has stopped working and there is no video option - it just takes still pictures as if always on "Auto". Any ideas?

BROKEN FLASH the flash on my samsung camera wont work, it will take a photo when i turn the flasg off but the red eye ( signalling the flas function is on ) just blinks but will not take the picture ?? helpppppppp !! read the manual with camera - not much use !! i can only take pictures during the day whilst the flash is turned off .

Taking pictures I have loved using my camera until it stopped being able to take pictures. Whenever I try to take a picture, the red light goes on a few times but the camera never flashes, clicks, or takes the picture. I can still look at my pictures but I can't take them. What is wrong and what should I do?

This could be due to a jammed lens element preventing the camera from focusing properly. When you push the button the camera attempts to focus the image before it takes the picture. If the focus component in the lens is not moving properly it cannot ...

I just received a Cannon Rebel for xmas and it was taking pictures just fine then it wouldn't autofocus and take a clear picture. I do not know if I accidentally hit a button when holding the camera but I cannot get it to take a clear pic. It also flashes a busy signal across the top of the viewing screen when it is flashing. I tried to find the fix in the guide, but nothing helped. Thanks!

Take it back and get an exchange- it's too early in the game to be getting error messages. It shouldn't be flashing busy, unless it's having trouble writing to a faulty card, or some other obscure defect. If it's too inconvenient to have it exch ...

Digital camera When I take pictures they seem to have a lot of blue in them. For instance grass is greenish blue instead of green. Is there a way to adjust the color?
Without the flash pictures are to dark and if I use the flash inside it washes out faces. When I take the photos into photoshop I can adjust the colors but the washed out faces are still there.
Most of the pictures are blurry. Is there a solution for this?
Is there a solution for this or do I chalk it up to a cheap camer

Blurred images My camera takes pictures fine with the flash on. However without the flash it makes a funny almost grinding noise when it takes the picture and then the picture is slightly blurred. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

This is mainly due to the slow shutter speed selected by your CAM. in low light situations the cam chooses a slow shutter speed to expose the image adequately. Any shakes that may have caused during the shutter operation will cause the funny images. ...
